A travertine arrival sequence in Downtown Beirut, drawn in stone, brushed bronze and points of light.
The entrance and lobby of a residential building in Downtown Beirut. Reception, stair approach and lift lobby are treated as a single travertine volume, with a fluted reception desk, a sculptural feature wall and a scattered light installation carried across the ceiling.
Design concept
The thinking
Arrival as composition. Vein-cut travertine wraps floor, walls and ceiling; a torn-edge wall of mirror and bronze is outlined in concealed neon, while suspended droplets of light fall over the reception and lift doors to give the address its signature.
